Sunrise in the East.

The small town in the mountains is clothed in the glow of the morning glow.

That night, the town was turned upside down.

With the deployment of the Earth War Knife, this small city has finally returned to the human camp.

For the first time since the Maltese retreated after a massive sweep, the surviving people in the city had seen a formed force on the human side.

"Look, everyone, our army, this is our army!"

Many citizens woke up early in the morning and found the soldiers deployed in the city, and they all ran to tell each other in surprise.

Finally, I saw the people of the People's Liberation Army who had been fed up with the cruelty and atrocities of the Maltese, some of them cried with joy, some took to the streets to cheer, and some people were faintly worried.

Although there were no Maltese ground weapons in the city, and there was no trace of pentagon ships in the sky, the citizens couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs when they thought of the Maltese's anti-heaven technology and cruel methods.

Almost all of the people who survived crawled out of the pile of dead people, and the mass massacre of the Maltese reduced the city's inhabitants by more than half.

Therefore, although everyone saw the human army again, their worries remained undiminished.

After all, judging from the results of the previous wars between humans and the Maltese, without exception, the human side ended in a big defeat. As for whether the army in front of them can defeat the Maltese, the citizens actually don't have much bottom in their hearts.

The engines roared in the air, and the ground combat vehicles rumbled.

Far away from the hilly terrain of the small city in the mountains, the main force of the Earth War Knife is rapidly advancing towards the neighboring city.

It turned out that after the 1st Brigade of the Earth Combat Knife landed on the ground and built a new air-ground defensive position, the three reinforced heavy armored brigades of the 74th Group Army, which were submarined, totaled 80,000 people, and then also landed in the small city.

At the same time, the Aerospace Forces also dispatched 500 combat aircraft to build defensive positions with ground armored units.

After the follow-up large force successfully landed in the small city from the ground, the Earth War Knife received an order from the theater to expand the results of the battle and recover the neighboring cities, and all of them went out from the small city before dawn and advanced in the neighboring cities.

In the process of advancing the mighty army of 40,000 Earth War Blades, the huge movement finally attracted the attention of the Maltese.

"Report the fleet, discover the human mass of air and ground forces!"

In the command room of the Maltese pentagonal fleet remaining on the earth 300 kilometers above the earth, the holographic monitoring screen suddenly issued a red alarm, and the sound of a patrol pentagonal pilot was heard in a hurry.

"This is impossible, hasn't the human resistance been wiped out a long time ago? How can there be a large-scale resistance force, please carefully confirm whether the other party is ours! ”

Seriously overweight, the Maltese commander who stayed on Earth cloned three thousand sallow-skinned faces with surprise written on them, and a look of disbelief in the snake's eyes.

Obviously, at this time, he did not believe that the human side, which had already lost its armor, was capable of dispatching large-scale troops.

"Report to the commander, we have just confirmed that it is indeed a force on the human side, the size has reached more than 100,000 people, and the follow-up troops are still increasing."

As soon as the Maltese commander Clone Three Thousand finished speaking, an urgent report came from the other pentagonal ships above the Earth.

"What? A human army of 100,000 people, how is this possible! ”

Clone 3001 listened to the report sent by the pentagonal spacecraft, and his originally disdainful face appeared anthropomorphic and shocked, and he jumped up as if he had been bitten by a snake, and his clumsy bone spur tail was also flicked, and it slammed into the instruments and equipment in the command room, looking extremely incongruous.

"Lord Commander, these human forces are not only huge, but they have already recaptured a small mountain city, and the vanguard is spreading to other areas."

In the pentagonal command ship, a tall semi-biochemical mecha next to Clone 3000 stood up, pointed at the red dot on the holographic monitoring screen in the hall with his thick black fingers, and said in a voice like a Mar Nebula urn.

"Hmph, just ants want to turn the sky upside down? Although the main force of the Centauri fleet has been withdrawn, it is not allowed to turn over this barbaric race of the low-level yellow dwarf galaxy!

In the Eastern Theater of Planets, I command you to mobilize the forces of the open space in your region to exterminate these ant human rebels, give some warnings to these inferior races who don't know what to do, and show me the invincible power of the Blue Star in Centaur! ”

In the command hall of the pentagonal spaceship, Commander Kone Sanqian raised his fat head, and a strange sneer came out of his fanged mouth. Giving orders to the pentagonal spacecraft that were patrolling the skies over China, it was clear to him that the human forces were simply vulnerable.

"Alright, Commander, we will mobilize our forces and destroy these barbaric Earth Resistance!"

After receiving the order from the Maltese commander Clone 3000, the commander of the spacecraft in charge of the ground patrol also said with contempt.

on the ground.

The Earth War Knife Clear-ground Force is advancing at high speed, and it has been hundreds of kilometers away from the city, traveling on the road that stretches through the mountains.

At this time, the 40,000 heavily armored troops on the ground were advancing at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour, and they were still two hours away from approaching the target city.

According to the speed of the latest bat-type combat spacecraft built in the air through reverse research and research on Maltese spacecraft technology, even if it only uses a fusion engine for nuclear fighters, the speed is as high as hundreds of kilometers per second.

It has long been able to reach the skies over neighboring cities, and the reason for the reduction of the speed of advance is to ensure the effectiveness of the air-ground alliance and prevent the ground forces from being attacked by the combined air-ground forces of the Maltese.

Although these hundreds of latest bat-type combat ships are extremely powerful, they still can't compete with the Maltese pentagonal spaceships, and the number is also a little less, and the recovery of the city will have to rely on the 40,000 troops of the various assault battalions on the ground.

If they act alone, if the ground forces make any mistakes, it will lead to the failure of the entire counteroffensive strategy.

Otherwise, according to the speed of the bat-type combat spacecraft, there is time for the ground forces to advance at this snail speed, and they have already circled the earth I don't know how many times.

Yang Yi's face was gloomy, and without saying a word, he drove a heavy mecha of the ground force forward in the large army.

It stands to reason that since landing last night until now, Yang Yi should be happy that he has not encountered the slightest resistance from the Maltese, but he can't be happy.

He knew very well in his heart that although the Maltese army had withdrawn from the solar system, the Maltese were far superior to the Earth's technological strength, and it was impossible to give up the Earth easily.

What Yang Yi was most worried about was being ambushed by the Maltese and encountering the Maltese's large-scale ground and air forces.

With the current strength of the Earth Combat Knife, it is good that the number is less than that of its own side, but if it encounters the ground forces of the Maltese who are far more numerous than their own, even if there is no pentagonal spaceship in the air, it will be difficult for the Earth Combat Knife to be victorious.

On the surface, the earth war knife is advancing all the way like a bamboo, but Yang Yi has always been worried in his heart, as the head of this unit, Yang Yi is commanding the troops, but also feels a heavy burden on his shoulders.

This is the best family foundation in the Chinese theater at present, shouldering the heavy responsibility of being the vanguard of the operation, reversing the defeat and regaining its strength. Therefore, you can't make any mistakes, and every step is like walking on thin ice.

This is because the success or failure of any battle of this unit will directly affect the overall situation.

However, despite Yang Yi's caution, the encounter still happened.

At a distance of less than 500 kilometers in front of the troops, dozens of pentagonal spaceships, accompanied by more than 20,000 Maltese ground troops, were facing the main force of the Earth War Knife with great momentum.
